Vitarán HC is a simple system with precise instructions to follow for most growers.
Vitarán HC is not a panacea. In many occasions it requires a good judgment from user in order to reach the final appropriated result.

Vitarán HC uses Microsoft Excel® (*)

(*) Microsoft Excel® is a trade brand by Microsoft Corp. USA.
Water is a substance having a great capacity to dissolve other materials.
Grower's available water is highly important in hydroponics practice.

Vitaran HC software is an excellent starting point for success in hydroponics.

Consequently Vitaran HC works with water as a previous step to design an appropriate formula.

Only with a “tailor made” formula errors can be eliminated.

Hydroponics Nutrient Solution Formulae Computation isn't an easy task
        Amateurs growers wanting to starts in hydroponics are confined either to use some formula already published in the related literature or to buy a mix of salts available in the specialized market. In both cases those formulae were calculated by others according to their own needs.

Most of them were defined empirically by researchers after many trials and errors. Sometimes these formulae work very well to many growers, but in occasions they fail for others.

As a metaphor, it can be compared such as the differences between manufactured and “tailor made” clothes. Of course, ready made mixes doesn’t fit to everybody needs.

In general, there is a reason:

THE AVAILABLE WATER IS POSIBLE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM

The main tool used in order to develop hydroponics nutrient solution formulations has been the mathematical chemical manual calculation. To do that it is not easy for common people without enough chemical knowledge.

Lately it has appeared few computer systems to simplify that job. All of these systems that were found and studied by the author offer certain misstatements.
Vitarán HC is the best hydroponics formulae computer program
Vitaran HC starts with the study of properties of the water supply.
